Sarala identifies with the medicinal plan, Aloe Vera, in this verse, exclusively for Different Truths.
I have thorns on all my juicy thick leaves Try not to come near me, you may get hurt by my fangs! My juice is rejuvenating to humans In many ways, Ayurveda use my juice to make medicines But my thorns are their plight! You have to be careful while plucking my thick leaves! If put my juice on your face your glow increases And the skin quality gets better and better I grow wild in some places I don’t need any special manure I am strong enough to grow on my own When I am just about coming up People destroy when I am just sprouting But I grow stronger and stronger with beautiful green colour I am beautiful to look at and I beautify humans inside out! The pharmacists find me helpful And my juice is sold at high prices and people Buy it because of my health benefits! I am Aloe Vera!
